EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Doge and Dogaressa of Venice, proudly navigating the iconic state barge, or bucentaur, through the waters of the Venetian Lagoon during the 16th century. The Doge, the elected leader of the Republic of Venice, is dressed in a rich velvet robe trimmed with ermine, symbolizing his noble status and authority. The Dogaressa, the Doge's wife, wears a similarly opulent velvet gown adorned with intricate embroidery and jewels. The bucentaur, a grand ceremonial barge, is adorned with ornate decorations and banners, including the Doge's standard bearing the lion of St. Mark. The oarsmen, dressed in traditional Venetian rowing attire, power the vessel with precise synchrony, reflecting the military and naval prowess of the Venetian Republic. This illustration, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, is taken from the comprehensive work "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously documented the fashion, art, and culture of various historical periods, providing invaluable insights into the rich tapestry of European history. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the Doge's court and the ceremonial traditions of the Republic of Venice during the 16th century.
